Ah it felt like yesterday when I put a post up asking which tune you would like me to work on next to get it completed... oh wait, it WAS yesterday!
It turns out that @stickupboys wanted to me to have a crack at finishing off No Limits from the little clip I shared in the playlist. Here it is in it's rough and ready form from then:

Jeez, I must have properly been in the zone for a few hours this evening, everything just flowed and I have been busy in the studio putting down automation clips to music projects! The next thing I know, it's nearly finished!
The work in progress I originally shared was pretty rough in many ways. There were no subtle transitions, sound fx... it was all a bit basic really.
How I like to do things is just get all the elements of the tune together like the melodies, chords, basics of the synths/instruments I want to use. Then I just get a rough draft of the soundscape, usually doing some variation of A,B,C,B,C,D (intro, breakdown, main section 1, breakdown 2, main section 2, outro).
Once I have that structure in place, I then start to fill everything out, work on the audio balancing and transitions.
Sadly though, there was a lot more that needed to be done with No Limits but that's alright, I love a challenge!
I've added an additional 90 seconds to the first work in progress (WIP) which includes a ~45 second intro to help DJs mix the tune in, a new bassline to accompany the sub and give it a bit more rhythm.
There's also loads of effects, lasers and excitement going on with the drum pattern, rebalancing of different sounds - just a few more things to tweak with regards to final sound balancing before I send this off to the mastering studio.
Alright, that's enough reading for you, now you get to hear the progress! Here it is in it's (almost) final stages!
Enjoy!
